<div class="ExternalClassABAF30FDD14546A0ADC40E228B7792BA">As part of a planned implementation of the EC Directive on flood management in the territory of the river ‘Schwarze Elster’, the Environmental Agency of Brandenburg needs information on the possible impact of a redesign of the flood protection systems and the resulting changes of the landscape water budget on the affected farms. Based on scenarios, it is analysed whether flood protection adapted production structures need to be developed that can be operated sustainable without a permanent financial compensation or if a permanent compensation is required. Various funding instruments and the legal backgrounds are included. </div>
